It's just some right-wing nutcase whipped into a frenzy by Limbaugh, Coulter, Malkin et. al. trying to make a point by doing the only thing people of that ilk know how to do; play the victim card. It would be funnier if he wasn't just the visible part of a movement that's damaging the US quite severely.

Prime example of judges getting too comfy in their chairs and stepping outside of the law. This trial should have been dismissed so quickly.

I've always seen the playing the victim card, and not taking personal responsibility to be a liberal thing.

That's the problem when Civil Rights watchers get too much power, judges are afraid to dismiss a case because of the problem they could get.

It's easier and less risky to let everybody get their day at the court,

Face it, this guy is not a victim neither he believes he is, he's just a clever bast@rd with a political agenda, most surely a KKK or white supremacy member.

Just look at this, making propaganda against advantages to racial minorities in TV and newspapers is really expensive, why waste that money if they can take the case to the court, speak all their cr@p and get free propaganda everywhere.

He already is getting what he wanted, there are many sites talking about him.

The best thing media could do is just ignore him and the fu**ing trial, the authorities should sanction the Judge for his passive attitude and everything will be solved.

You're right. I don't think the people who put up this case take it seriously. It is just the only way they can find to say bad things about foreigners and get away with it and get it published.

Then you've sadly bought into the hype. There's no one currently more victim-identified than a conservative white Christian (remember "The War on Christmas!" "Hollyweird's gay agenda!" "The liberal media bias!" and other similar bullsh*t), even though they and their compatriots more or less rule all three branches of the US government.

They've managed to put up a smoke screen for too long, but more and more people are beginning to see through it.

I wouldn't classify any of those things as playing the victim card. I think that's more applicable to something like one of Michael Moore's films were he draws farfetched correlations but people ignore their absurdity because he shows a mother crying about losing her son in Iraq for fifteen minutes.

Has anyone seen independent verification of the story; because Paul K's right; the guy's name doesn't google; although does Progtologist's post ^^^ suggest he's heard the story elsewhere?

The dangerous thing about that kind of satire, Equality, is that somebody might take it at face value.

Evangelical christians have sometimes tried a similar tactic in this country. Obviously a country in which the reigning monarch is head of the church, the prime minister (as many have been before him) is an ostentatiously practicing christian, religious education was (until very recently) the only compulsory subject in schools and the BBCs charter obliges it to devote a significant chunk of its output to religious programming is one in which christians are an oppressed minority.

Daytime TV chat shows seem to be filled lackwits from the shallow end of the gene pool complaining that they'd be CEO of Microsoft or Regius Professor of Particle Physics at Cambridge if only the government would stop all those immigrants coming over here with their opposable thumbs and capacity for abstract thought.

Sad to say, I expect a similar lawsuit here in the UK sometime in the near future.

I also tried the judge's name, and that doesn't Google either. It all starts to smell a bit fish-like.

Maybe somebody is starting urban myths to counter those interminable (and almost always false) 'political correctness gone mad' stories that fill up news forums.

Is the Regius Professor of Particle Physics at Cambridge job up for grabs?

I've read 20 pages of stephen Hawkings book (before falling into a coma) so reckon I could do it...

look, if bush can run the states, Blair can run UK, and Prescott can keep his job anything is possible.
